Now more than ever, the world needs a sustainable and viable solution to save natural resources! EF Polymer can be a powerful source to help regenerate land and create better opportunities for society and business.
ABOUT POLYMERS
Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) are materials capable of absorbing and retaining several times their weight in water, even under pressure. These unique properties make SAPs indispensable in a variety of industries, supporting applications such as water retention, thickening, and controlled release.
EF Polymer is pioneering the development of fully organic SAPs made from orange and banana peels. Unlike conventional petroleum-based SAPs, which have a significant environmental footprint, our polymers offer a sustainable alternative without compromising performance.
With growing global focus on environmental sustainability, EF Polymer is at the forefront of innovation, extending the use of organic SAPs beyond agriculture. We are developing high-purity polymers with enhanced water absorption and collaborating with leading companies to explore applications across industries such as cosmetics, personal care, medical solutions, and more.
THE GREEN CHOICE
EF Polymer is a certified organic and biodegradable solution. Instead of being incinerated, we repurpose crop residues to create this innovative product. What sets us apart is our commitment to a chemical-free manufacturing process. By choosing us, you’re not just making a better choice for your needs; you’re also making a positive impact on the planet.
What makes us unique?
Our product is produced through an eco-conscious manufacturing process that minimizes its environmental impact. Compared to industry standards, our approach consumes less energy, leading to significantly reduced CO2 emissions. Additionally, we prioritize responsible water usage and waste reduction to ensure a cleaner production process.
EF Polymer features exceptional water retention capabilities, making it suitable for a diverse range of applications. For agricultural use, it can retain approximately 50 times its weight in water, ensuring optimal hydration for crops while reducing water consumption. We tailor our polymer specifically for agricultural needs, balancing performance with cost-effectiveness. Meanwhile, specialized grades developed for applications such as cosmetics and ice packs boast even higher water absorption capacities, catering to their unique requirements.
We understand the importance of cost-effectiveness, particularly in large-scale production. Our technology achieves cost competitiveness by utilizing innovative methods. This involves the collection of bio-waste materials such as orange peels and incorporating them into the production of our 100% organic polymer. This helps reduce our reliance on traditional industrial methods and embrace more natural and sustainable approaches.

Innovating Sustainability with Cy-cool™
Every year, over 1 billion small-sized refrigerants are used for food preservation in Japan, but their reliance on petroleum-based super absorbent polymer (SAP) poses environmental challenges. EF Polymer, in partnership with Iwatani Corporation and Iwatani Group, presents Cy-cool™, a revolutionary biodegradable ice pack crafted entirely from natural materials like orange peels. This innovative product not only cools but can be as a soil water retention agent after being used as a cold pack. Its goal is to boost environmental sustainability and reduce the ecological footprint of refrigerants.
Innovating Sustainability with EF Polymer Thickener
Super absorbent polymers have been widely used as thickeners in cosmetics and household products since the 1980s. Traditionally, most of these polymers are derived from petroleum-based raw materials, favored for their low cost and ease of use in production. While these materials provide desirable texture and consistency, they come with significant drawbacks: many are non-biodegradable, contribute to soil and marine pollution, and may irritate sensitive skin.
EF Polymer is now offering a cosmetic-grade version of its biodegradable polymer, designed for use in products like liquid foundations and lipsticks. This innovative material not only delivers high performance as a thickening agent but is also gentle on the skin and eco-friendly, providing an ideal alternative for sustainable cosmetic formulations.
